וְהָאוֹפַנִּים וְחַיּוֹת הַקֹּדֶשׁ

Then the Ophanim and the Holy Hayyot, with a roar of noise, raise themselves toward the Seraphim and, facing them, give praise, saying:
All say aloud.

Baruch kevod-Adonai mimkomo:
English
Blessed is the LORD's glory from His place.
Ps. 136
Hebrew
לָאֵל בָּרוּךְ נְעִימוֹת יִתֵּנוּ
לְמֶלֶךְ אֵל חַי וְקַיָּם
זְמִירוֹת יֹאמְרוּ וְתִשְׁבָּחוֹת יַשְׁמִיעוּ
כִּי הוּא לְבַדּוֹ מָרוֹם וְקָדוֹשׁ
פּוֹעֵל גְּבוּרוֹת, עוֹשֶׂה חֲדָשׁוֹת
בַּעַל מִלְחָמוֹת, זוֹרֵעַ צְדָקוֹת
מַצְמִיחַ יְשׁוּעוֹת, בּוֹרֵא רְפוּאוֹת
נוֹרָא תְהִלּוֹת, אֲדוֹן הַנִּפְלָאוֹת
הַמְחַדֵּשׁ בְּטוּבוֹ בְּכָל יוֹם תָּמִיד מַעֲשֵׂה בְרֵאשִׁית
כָּאָמוּר
לְעֹשֵׂה אוֹרִים גְּדֹלִים, כִּי לְעוֹלָם חַסְדּוֹ׃
אוֹר חָדָשׁ עַל צִיּוֹן תָּאִיר וְנִזְכֶּה כֻלָּנוּ בִּמְהֵרָה לְאוֹרוֹ.
בָּרוּךְ אַתָּה יהוה, יוֹצֵר הַמְּאוֹרוֹת.

La'el baruch ne'imot yiteinu

le'oseh orim gedolim, ki le'olam chasdo:
Or chadash al Tziyon ta'ir venizkeh kulanu bimherah le'oro.
Baruch atah Adonai, yotzer hame'orot.
English
To the blessed God they offer melodies. To the King, living and eternal God, they say psalms and proclaim praises. For it is He alone, exalted and holy, who does mighty deeds and creates new things, who is Master of battles, and sows righteousness, who makes salvation grow and creates cures, who is revered in praises, LORD of wonders, who in His goodness, continually renews the work of creation, day after day, as it is said: "[Praise] Him who made the great lights, for His love endures for ever." May You make a new light shine over Zion, and may we all soon be worthy of its light. Blessed are You, LORD, who forms the radiant lights.
